Re: Campbell, Basics of Verbal Aspect, 2nd edition

It's been a while since I read it, but the biggest thing that I remember is that his view of the perfect is off. For a good understanding of the perfect, I suggest chapters 13–15 in Runge & Fresch, The Greek Verb . Steve Runge is on this forum occasionally, as is Randall Buth. They would be able...

Not directly relevant to attached prepositions, but Steve Runge and Will Ross edited a volume about Postclassical Greek prepositions that came out in 2022: Postclassical Greek Prepositions and Conceptual Metaphor: Cognitive Semantic Analysis and Biblical Interpretation (Fontes et subsidia ad Bibliam...

Re: Titus 2:3 "καλοδιδασκάλους"

It doesn't look like anyone answered this. This is a compound adjective, or sometimes called a two-termination adjective. Compound adjectives only have the masculine (or what is normally masculine) and neuter endings. The context tells you whether the adjective is masculine or feminine. This one, as...

Re: Heater - A Septuagint Translation Technique in the Book of Job (£21.00)

Internet Archive's free library is a great boon to scholars; I use it almost daily in my work. The court case against them by some publishers is attempting to shut them down, but so far the courts are allowing them to lend books that don't currently have ebook versions. The case is being appealed an...

Re: ξύλον translated as “tree” in Deuteronomy and Acts

According to Brill's Dictionary of Ancient Greek , it occurs with that sense already in Euripides Cycl. 572 and also in Herodotus and Xenophon's Anabasis , becoming more common in the Hellenistic period, occurring in Theophrastus with an etc. after the one citation. That leads me to think it was a f...

Re: Fresch - Discourse Markers in Early Koine Greek: Cognitive Functional Analysis and LXX Translation Technique

Just thought I'd mention I've read neither Runge nor Levinsohn's books which Jonathan has mentioned, and I understood Fresch fine. He does have quite a long introduction which should suffice most people's needs. In my opinion, anyway :) It's a revised dissertation, so he has to show that he knows o...
